Why does my computer keep crashing?

Question

When I initially turn on my PC, if I don’t let it sit without touching anything or opening any apps, it’ll turn my monitors black and my PC will eventually turn itself off. However, this only applies for the first time I turn on my PC for the day. If my PC crashes and I restart it, it runs completely fine for the entire duration that it’s on.

My initial guess to the problem is I used to leave my PC running for days at a time (grinding for a game) and only restart it like once a week before running it for longer. This was about a year ago and I feel like the problems started after that but i’m not sure. I just reset my PC last week and the problems are still present.

The only thing I know about my parts is that I have an RTX 3060. The PC is fairly new, only being about 4 years old.

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

The best option to resolve this problem would be to completely remove the current Nvidia device driver using the widely available free DDU utility, then restart your PC and go to the Nvidia website to download and install a couple of slightly older version of the Nvidia device driver to try to find a version that is stable on your system.

A slightly older version of that driver is more stable than the latest version.
